The only mods done by the PO were a Smittybilt rear tube bumper/hitch and the Congo Cage. My TJ looks a little...unbalanced. Rather than get a tube front bumper and keep what I have (the Jeep won't be towing the 4000# camper), I'd rather go stock (or something similiar) and sell the Smittybilt, then upgrade later. Question is, does the stock bumper bolt right up? or are there brackets I will also need in between bumper and chassis? All the pics I find don't show the backside of the bumper.

Thanks all

There are no brackets needed. They bolt right to the frame. Where are you? I'll sell you mine! They're out in the garage as we speak.

As for towing 4000lbs, I think all of you nay sayers are misreading the OP's post!
